If you do use any UVB on them, don't use anything more than like a reptisun 2.0, unless it is over 12" away. And just an idea, what I use on the few I have in tanks, is a black heat light, and just leave it on 24/7. They get daylight from the room their in, and the black bulb just provides heat.
If she is gravid, You would be best off to make her a lay box. You can also use that for the moist hide. I have both in my breeding tub, and they all use the lay box for a moist hide. I don't have a picture of the actual box in my leo tub, but here is the exact same thing I use with my small boas for a moist hide.
It's a ziplock box, about 3" tall, with about 2" of moist coconut fiber in it, and a hole cut in the top. Those are 11"x7", whatever size you can find should work, just make sure she has enough room to crawl around and dig around a little. I put them on the warmer side of the tub. And since you can see through the bottom, you can normally see the eggs on the bottom of the tub without digging around.
I like the coconut fiber quite a bit actually, but you can use moist sphagnum, anything they can dig in and keep moist.
like i said , i have two moist hides right now because the male is hogging the one >.> they are made from those large reptile display containers that you would find at an expo:
i turn them upside down and cut a little doorway and fill with moist paper towels, the male loves it, the female, she sticks her head in, then backs out and continues to crawl under the carpet -.- she has no interest..ill have to try adding a medium for egg laying though, i really hope she takes an interest when it comes time for her to lay...
